The Canon PowerShot S200 offers 2-megapixel resolution and a remarkably small ELPH body. Owners rave about the camera’s portable size and rugged construction, and while there are a few complaints about soft images and focus accuracy, the vast majority of reviewers think the S200 takes great shots at an attractive price.
Canon PowerShot S200 DIGITAL ELPH / IXUS v² camera combines high performance with style and convenience. The model, designed as a next generation DIGITAL ELPH camera, retains and improves upon the stylish and elegant design that made the PowerShot S110 and S300 two of the most popular digital cameras in history. It offers consumers one of the widest selections of features, functions, and price-points of any digital camera line available today, making the enjoyment of digital photography more accessible than ever.
The S200 includes an Intelligent Orientation sensor, which detects whether an image has been recorded horizontally or vertically. During image playback, the sensor detects the proper orientation of each image, and previews them accordingly without the need to rotate the camera for image viewing. It is also adjusts AF, AE and white balance accordingly. The PowerShot S200 can record movies with sound in VGA, QVGA and Q2VGA at 20 frames per second.

A 2x optical zoom lens (35-70mm equivalent) aids in photo composition, and an additional 2.5x digital zoom (5x total) further magnifies your image. Remember, however, that digital zoom reduces the sharpness and detail of your image, so it’s best used sparingly. Two systems help ensure your pictures will be perfectly focused, even in challenging conditions: a multizone autofocus works even when the subject of your photo isn’t in the center of the scene, and in low-light situations (a particular weakness of many digital cameras), a focus-assist lamp sends out a small patterned beam to help the camera accurately determine distance. If you’re hoping for a more powerful zoom, the S330 Elph has a 3x zoom and slightly larger dimensions but is otherwise nearly identical.

The S200’s tiny size makes it great for taking just about anywhere, even underwater with the separately-available underwater housing accessory. In more ordinary usage, the rugged, all-metal body stands up to heavy use, and the flat camera front (with lens retracted) makes it very pocket-friendly. Equipped with a 2.0-megapixel CCD, the S200 captures good quality images, suitable for printing photos as large as 8×10 inches. Lower resolution settings produce images suitable for use on the ‘web, or for email distribution.

The PowerShot S200 can record movies at three different resolutions. The choices are 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. Before you get too excited, clips are limited to 4, 10, and 30 seconds respectively for each resolution.
Movies are recorded at a rate of 20 frames/sec, and are saved in the AVI format using the M-JPEG codec. Sound is recorded with the movies. The camera does not have a speaker, so you’ll have to hook the camera up to a TV or your computer to hear the sound.
